Summary :
The Planet Local Summit in Bristol (September 29th – 1st of October 2023) has been a rich and diverse gathering of people representing local communities working on localisation, transition and regeneration from all over the world, with participants from 50 countries. The summit was organised by Local Futures, an organisation led by Helena Norberg-Hodge “helping to build a movement for fundamental economic change: away from today’s global, high-tech consumer culture towards strong local economies rooted in deep interdependence with community and Nature”. The slogan of Local Futures is “the economics of happiness” and “promoting localisation globally”.
